Language - Spanish Difficult Summary Review

Can you believe it! You are almost done with your Spanish Difficult Review academic quizzes. In fact, there is only one more quiz left after this one, i.e., Language: Completing Spanish Difficult Review. Before we wrap this all up, however, in this Spanish Difficult Review quiz we will do a summary review of all that you have learned throughout the entire three Review quiz series.

If you have taken each of the three Spanish levels of quizzes, i.e., Spanish Easy Review, Spanish medium Review and Spanish Difficult Review, then you know that you have learned quite a lot about the Spanish language, including Spanish grammar, sentence structure, verb conjugation, reading comprehension, word association (feminine/masculine) and, really, just about everything you need to know to be able to read and write in Spanish.

1 .
This is an adverb that indicates that something has more (más) or less (menos) of a quantity or quality.
Superlative Adverb
Adverb of Manner
Comparative Adverb
Adjective Adverb
When an adverb indicates that something has more (más) or less (menos) of a quantity or quality (ex: She is more excited than her sister. – or – She is less excited than her sister.) it is known as a comparative adverb. (Information can be found in the Spanish Medium Review quiz titled Grammar: Comparative Adverbs.)
2 .
How does a superlative adverb differ from a comparative adverb?
It refers to the 'most', i.e., biggest/smallest, and it is created by using the definite article before the words of más and menos.
It is the adverb that is used to describe a base form verb rather than a person, place or thing.
The superlative adverb is like the English form of words that end with the letters of LY such as quickly. It describes how the action is taking place.
The superlative and comparative adverbs are exactly the same kind of adverb. However, different Spanish speaking countries define the adverbs as either being superlative or comparative so, in reality, there is no difference.
The comparative adverb describes something as being more (más) or less (menos). In English this would be the same as adding letters of 'er' to a word such as big becomes bigger. A superlative adverb refers to something as being the most and in English that would be like adding the letters of 'est' to the word making big become biggest. To show that something is the most, the definite article (el/la) is placed before either más or menos. (Information can be found in the Challenging Spanish quiz titled Grammar: Superlative Adverbs.)
3 .
Which of the following numbers is correctly written in Spanish?
23,461.25
23.461,25
23461.25
23,461-25
According to the rules in Spanish when it comes to numbers, they do the opposite of what we do in English. In English, beginning with a thousand and upwards, we use a comma after every three digits, counting backwards from the right to the left, i.e., 2,000,000. The comma is NOT used in Spanish to designate this but, rather, a period is used to the same number in Spanish would be read as, 2.000.000. In addition, where a decimal point would be used in Spanish such as in money to show cents or in a number that will show a percentage, rather than a period being used a decimal point is used. The first answer above shows the number in its English form so you now need to look at the opposite punctuation marks of that number. The second answer shows the period in the place of the comma and the comma in place of the period. (Information can be found in the Spanish Difficult Review quiz titled Math: Punctuation Marks with Numbers.)
4 .
What is a complex preposition in Spanish?
When a preposition connects two simple sentence together to form one sentence.
When it is unclear as to whether a feminine or masculine word is needed to be used to describe the person, place or thing.
It is the equivalent of using 'and/or' in English, i.e., 'y/o' in Spanish.
It is when two or more words are combined together to show a function.
In Spanish, a complex preposition is when two or more words are combined together to show a function. For example, in English we would say: He sat beside her. In Spanish this would read as: Él se sentó al lado de ella. It takes three word in Spanish (al lado de) to say the one word used in English. Because it takes more than one word – it is a complex preposition. (Information can be found in the Spanish Difficult Review quiz titled Grammar: Complex Prepositions.)
